Terrific vest, but sizing way off
The recommendation was to order one size larger... Well, had that problem before so since I wear a 2X to 3X size depending on brand& whom ever is sewing on size labels on a particular day... I ordered a 5X should be good to go RIGHT? Well no not so much, the Chinese seem to have a whole different idea on sizes. I ended up giving this to a friend that wears XL sizes and it fit snugly as an electric vest should. So was mine just incorrectly sized or what? Based on two other electric vests by another Chinese maker. I gave a 3X marked vest to another friend that wears a Large and it was real snug. And the 2X was, for him way too snug. I RECCOMEND starting 3 sizes larger and do not order direct from any chinese company if you don't want to have problems with returns.

Very nice product.

Warm and snug... maybe too snug
The vest is very stylish and it does keep you warm. It charged up quickly with the enclosed charging cable and provided sufficient heat to the upper and lower back and the pocket area in the front. On one quick charge the heat lasted for the three hours we were out in the cold and it hadn't shown any signs of powering down. The vest is quite slim and should fit well under most winter coats. Having the mock turtleneck design will add some extra protection against the winter winds.You can manually control the heat levels on the front and back which allows you to customize your temperatures to a point. There are two heating zones in the front and lower back and one on the upper back.The description says that the vest is waterproof which will help when it snows and should also be helpful when it comes to cleaning. I haven't tried to wash it yet. It does come with a laundry bag which should make machine washing easier. You just disconnect the power pack and put that aside before you put the vest in the bag and then into the wash.. I would suggest washing it in cold water and drying it on the coolest setting.My only problem with the vest -- a common problem with clothing designed overseas -- is that the sizing chart is not very accurate. A small is very small... if you normally wear a small then this small may be much too small. You can only wear a t-shirt or thin polo shirt under it. I'd suggest ordering a size up from your usual size just to be on the safe side. The fit, as it is, is very snug but you can also open the size zippers which give you just that proverbial skootch more room.The zippers on the vest front and pockets all seem to be of very good strength and quality. The entire vest appears to be well made and should last more than a few winter seasons.Overall, it is a pretty good heated vest except for the very important matter of ordering the proper size.

Not so thick
Not so thick, but the heating element make up for it. This is the first jacket or vest that I have received that comes with its own battery pack for the product. It is really soft vest and has a super soft material around the neck. There was also little blue stiching on the outside design that I didn't notice when I ordered this vest. I really am please with this vest and would recommend to anyone. Also the sides zip down and up for added room. Zipper are smooth and work as should. Thank you

The heating element works quite well, but more of a novelty
In concept, the vest does exactly what is says it does, it heats up. This it does quite well. It provides a good amount of heat and keeps you warm. But everything else falls a little short.Materials: The vest overall feels thin and cheap. You can feel the heating wires inside the vest.Electronics: The vest is powered by a lithium battery pack using USB ports. It's really nice the battery pack can be charged via USB type C. When the battery pack is stored inside the zippered pouch, on the inside of the vest, it slides around too much. The zippered pouch is too large for the battery pack.Power Button: The power button works well and allows to switch between high-medium-low. The light on the jacket is very bright though. You will stand out in a crowd because of the glowing LED on your vest.Comfort: Because of the materials and design, this is not the most comfortable vest. It's not uncomfortable, just not something you would wear all day long. The collar doesn't sit right on your neck and the battery pack can always be felt on your side, especially while driving since the battery pack is in the same location as your lap belt.I still use this vest when it is really cold outside. The heating portion works really well. But because of the other awkward design choices, it feels more like a novelty item rather than a vest you would wear on a daily basis.

Decent vest
Fur lined neck is nice while it warms,Top layer of pocket fur lined, again helps with additional warmth.Good battery life, I’ve never tested full length. It has 4 lights on battery to indicate battery charge.Only two pockets on outside for hands and one on inside for battery.Only 3 settings, h,m,l. No way to only turn on the back, not the front.The light always stays on when heating, no way to hide the light.Even after turning it off the battery pack lights stay on and there is a slight continued heating. After 2 hours the vest was still warm.In order to ensure it’s not heating I unplug battery pack.

A very nice heated vest that fits properly
First thing, the sizing is correct, not that there are a lot of choices, but I have ordered other x-large items, and they came too big or too small, so this needs mentioning.► Other powered vests I've used did not have a lot of insulation on their own. This does have good insulation, so on the not-too-cold days, I can wear it under my jacket and not run the heating elements.In the last two weeks, since it got down to -20C a few nights, I've had the opportunity to really test how well this is insulated and how well the various elements work. I walk the dog usually four times a day, so early mornings and late at night are the times when I really appreciate the vest; I'm happy with it. The sizing is a correct plus; after a turkey meal with all the fixings, when I need to loosen the belt a little (guys, you know what I mean), there is a zippered piece on each side under the armpit. Once the zipper is opened, it exposes a neoprene section underneath the zipper that allows the vest to expand considerably while still keeping me warm.I have tried a couple of other vests and found them lacking as far as heating goes, and in one case, the placement of the battery pack was just horrible. Here everything is properly designed, and the vest itself is well-made. All of the stitching is proper, and the zippers run freely. The arm holes are slightly wider than jackets would be, but this is a good thing. When worn under a jacket it allows me more range of motion when shovelling snow or performing other work.► The nly thing to note is that the power bank is located on the left in a zippered pocket, pretty much where the outside and inside pockets are on my jackets. It can get a little cramped if I'm carrying other items, like gloves, tucked into the jacket pockets.The material used on the inside and outside is easy to clean when needed.The included power bank does a good job of running the vest on high for about 5 hours. After initialy running on high the electronics back the powere settig to medium automatically. This means the vest gets nice and warm on high and then stays warm on medium while extending the power bank charge.Using the power control button is simple. Press and hold for two seconds to power it on. High is the first setting; press once to switch to medium, and one more press switches to low. Press and hold for two seconds to power the vest off.One of the nice things about these vests, even though they have electronics, is that they can be washed if needed.Overall this fits well, provides insulation on its own, and the heating elements work well.

A Comfortable and Warm Heated Vest
The Vofuoti Heated Vest is lightweight, comfortable, and warm. It comes nicely packed in a double-zipped bag. I really like the way this vest is constructed. It looks very good and understated, like a multi-purpose vest that can be worn for just about any activity, including hiking, skiing, working outside, or riding a motorcycle. The material is soft and pleasant to the touch. I like that it's thin but durable and the heating coils and wires and well-hidden.The sizing is accurate and fits true to size. The control button is simple to operate, pressing once to cycle through a low, medium, or high heat. At the high heat level, the vest heats up really quickly and gets nice and toasty. This will be great to wear during those frigid days in the winter, as it should be more effective than heavy layers or bulky winter coats. Overall, this is an attractive, lightweight, and comfortable heated vest at a smart price. Full marks from me!

🧛♂️ Great for winter
The media could not be loaded. This review is for the Heated Vest for Men Women, Heated Down Vest with Battery Pack and 3 Heating Levels.😍 The following is a list of the features of this heated vest that stand out to me the most, in no particular order:1. This heated vest which is filled with down.Even when I forget to switch on the heater, the vest manages to keep me wonderfully warm.2. The temperature that is maintained within this heated vest can be brought up to the predetermined level in a relatively short period of time.After around a minute and a half, I become aware that the temperature of the vest is beginning to rise.3. A person who weighs 160 pounds would have enough room in the size M with both side zipper opened for them to wear it without experiencing any discomfort.4. The wearer has the ability to adjust the size of the vest to meet their requirements by using the two zippers located on the side of the garment.5. A washing machine is the most effective method for cleaning this vest when the time comes to do so.Before putting it in the washing machine, I would always place it in a washing bag beforehand so that it would be protected while it was being cleaned by the machine.6. The vest is not heavy in any way.😎 Cons:1. The battery is somehow big and heavy.2. Battery runs out in about 3 hours.It is better to have a spare battery available so that one of the batteries can be charged while the other is being used.✳️ I won't have to wear heavy outfits of numerous layers of clothing in winter because I have this heated vest.

Keeps Torso Warm While Being Comfortable!
This heated vest is a great addition for anyone who is looking for a vest that is both comfortable and capable of producing enough heat to keep their torso warm. The vest itself is made of typical jacket-like material which feels very durable and nice. The vest is not too thick such that it limits your mobility like with thick jackets. Additionally, the sizing is also not too tight such that it prevents you from wearing a thick hoodie under. I personally wear this vest on top of a thick hoodie when going out to walk my dog and the overall fitting is super comfortable and true to size.The vest also comes with a storage pouch, a USB-C charging cable (yay!), and a battery. The battery can be hidden nicely into the pouch on the vest and is capable of power delivery so technically you can use it to charge your phone (however, it will be slow charging).The pockets and zippers n the vest are nicely made, operate smoothly, and are very durable. There is one control button on the vest which allows the user to turn on the heat, change the heating mode (high, medium and low), and turn the heat off. While the heating mechanism is nice to operate, I will note that the overall heat delivered is average relative to other heated vests that I have tried. However, I personally did not find this to be an issue as I do not typically need that much heat to keep warm anyways. As such, I found the heat outputted from this vest, while on the medium heat setting to be very good. Additionally given the different heating zones, I personally think that a medium amount of heat that is evenly spread across the different heating zones is more than sufficient in functioning to keep my body warm, so kudos to them for having these zones.Over my past week of using this vest every time I've gone to walk my dog (twice a day; on medium heat), this vest has kept me sufficiently warm. The vest's battery lasted me one whole week before needing to be charged again, a very convenient feature. Overall, I would recommend this heated vest to anyone looking for a vest that is durable, has good heating zones, fits well, and can keep you sufficiently warm on cold days without needing to be constantly charged.

Good Fit & Adjustable Width But Not As Much Fill/Quality As Expected
Impressed with the fit and the zipper on each side with effectively increase the diameter of the vest. The Large fits a 200lbs 5’10 frame well, and the side zippers undone allows for a bulkier sweater underneath.Have worn it a couple times taking the dog for a walk and taking my son to hockey practice. Really appreciate the extra warmth, especially when sitting on the cold benches.Quality and comfort is as expected, but there isn’t as much fill as you might expect from the listing pictures. That said, it’s light and small enough to wear under a jacket.It has three heat settings: High/red (~140F/60C), Medium/white (131F/55C), Low/blue (122F/50C) as denoted by the colour of the LED. You cycle through the setting by pressing the power button.Comes with a 10000mAh rechargeable power bank which lasts about 4 hours on high, 6 hours on medium and about 7+ hrs on low. I’ve used it several times on high and the four hours seems about right. The battery back also has a stylish carbon fiber look to it, and charges via USB-C, which is appreciated.Material and Washing Instructions: The tag says the shell and lining are made of 100% polyester, but there’s no mention of the insulation. The listing says down filled, but it feels more like synthetic poly fill but it’s hard to tell, as there’s very little of it. Washing instructions are hand washing only, and hang dry, which is to be expected given the internal heating wires.Final Thought: Very light, comfortable and does a good job of taking the chill out of the air when on, but not much fill or warmth when off. The side zippers are a welcome addition and help if you want to wear it over something thicker. Reasonably happy, but was expecting more fill/quality for the price.
